 Up for your consideration is a 1972 Buick Skylark Custom. This nice looking Skylark belongs to a friend of mine who buys a lot off E-bay but he has never sold anything, so he asked me if I would. He is the second owner of the vehicle, he bought it over a year ago from one of the original family members who bought it new here in Atlanta in 1972, he has the paperwork to prove that. He began the process of restoring it while he drove it. It has a new top with a glass rear window, new carpet, and a fresh paint job. This is the original color, Sunburst Yellow, but my friend decided to have real metal flake put in the paint so that it sparkles in the sun. I tried to take some pictures up close so you could see the metal flake. This is an all original car except, from what my friend was told by the original owner,  they had replaced the original motor with a '72 350 motor from another Skylark that had lower mileage. The car starts and seems to run fine after it warms up. There is no smoke or clatter or any engine noise. I took it out for a cruise yesterday and it seemed to run fine. It would hesitate a couple of times on acceleration but would clear up after about 30-40 MPH and ran fine. All the windows worked  fine a week ago, but when I came back home from my cruise yesterday, the front passenger window did not go up, probably a switch and I will do my best to get it checked out this week. The only other issue that I have found with the car is that one of the brakes seems to grab harder than the other. If you hit the brakes quickly it wants to pull to the right but all the brakes are working. My guess is that there is a caliper sticking, having not been driven much in recent months. This is a southern car, so rust is not an issue, the doors are solids, the quarter panels are solid. I took everything out of the trunk so that you could hopefully see that the trunk floor pans are solid. There are some small pinholes in the trunk pans but this is where water had gotten into the trunk, nothing serious. The electric top works fine and closes securely. The interior is in good shape as you can see from the pictures. It is missing the passenger side sun visor, but an easy fix, it is also missing the belt on the air conditioner but is otherwise intact. This is a great looking convertible that you could drive while you finish the restoration. My friends situation has changed and needs to sell this car and is putting a reasonable reserve on it so that it will sell. Because of the age of the car, it is being sold "as is" with no warranty implied or stated. If you need the car shipped, I will be glad to deliver it to the shipper if you make the arrangements and the car is paid for. Please ask all your questions before bidding and please only bid if you intent to purchase the car. I will do my best to respond to your questions as quickly as I can. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit to be paid within 48 hours of the auction end and you can contact me in regards to the balance. Thanks for your interest and have a great day.
